A type of learning that involves stimulus- response connections, in which the response is conditional on the stimulus
What is conditioning?
100
in classical conditioning, the disappearance of a conditioned response when an unconditioned stimulus no longer follows a conditioned stimulus
What is extinction?
100
A fear-reduction technique based on the principles of classical conditioning that involves exposing the individual to a harmless stimulus until fear responses to that stimulus are extinguished
What is flooding?
100
Learning that is strengthened when behavior is followed by positive reinforcement
What is operant conditioning?
100
learning that occurs but remains hidden until there is a need to use it
What is latent learning?
200
A type of learning in which a neutral stimulus comes to elicit an unconditioned response when that neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with a stimulus that normally causes an unconditioned response
What is classical conditioning?
200
the reappearance of an extinguished conditioned response after some time has passed
What is spontaneous recovery?
200
A type of counterconditioning, used to treat phobias, in which a pleasant, relaxed state is associated with gradually increasing anxiety-triggering stimuli.
What is systematic desensitization?
200
A stimulus or event that follows a response and increases the frequency of that response
What is reinforcement?
200
learning by observing and imitating the behavior of others
What is observational learning?
300
In classical conditioning, a stimulus that elicits an unlearned, automatic response
What is unconditioned stimulus?
300
a type of classical conditioning in which a previously desirable or neutral food comes to be perceived as repugnant because it is associated with negative stimulation
What is taste aversion?
300
Any method or activity that helps a person to relax.
What is relaxation technique?
300
Stimuli, such as food or warmth, that have reinforcement value without learning
What is primary reinforcers?
300
experienced indirectly through the experience of another
What is vicarious?
400
a learned response to a previously neutral stimulus
What is conditioned response?
400
the tendency to respond in the same way to stimuli that have similar characteristics
What is generalization?
400
A therapy procedure based on classical conditioning that replaces a negative response to a stimulus with a positive response.
What is counter Conditioning?
400
stimuli that increase the probability of a response because of their association with a primary reinforcer
What is secondary reinforcers?
400
learning that occurs regularly and is distributed over time
What is distributed learning?
500
a previously neutral stimulus that, because of pairing with an unconditioned stimulus, now causes a conditioned response
What is conditioned stimulus?
500
in classical conditioning, the ability to distinguish the conditioned stimulus from other stimuli that are similar
What is discrimination?
500
encouraging stimuli that increase the frequency of a behavior when they are presented
What is positive reinforcers?
500
learning that does not occur regularly but occurs all at one time
